Imo, you should look long and hard at moving PvP map creation to a very short term goal and not a long term goal. PvP in general has been neglected. See DotA as example of custom map from a game (******** III) that people still play to this day.

If you gain nothing PvP, what is the point? So many games of the past have used that and it is was very very popular and this poor mans PvP is a complete joke. There is no reason for anyone to learn PvP, because their no risk.
